There is overwhelming interest to use actinium-225 ([225Ac]Ac) to develop targeted α therapies. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are highly cytotoxic. Combining [225Ac]Ac with an ADC to develop an antibody-drug radioconjugate [225Ac]Ac-macropa-trastuzumab(T)-PEG6-emtansine (DM1), is expected to be more effective than its ADC (T-PEG6-DM1) against breast cancer.
[89Zr]Zr-p-isothiocyanatobenzyl desferrioxamine (DFO)-T-PEG6-DM1 (imaging) and [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 (radiotherapy) were developed. Biodistribution and safety evaluations of [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 were carried out in non-tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. MicroPET imaging and biodistribution were done using [89Zr]Zr-DFO-T-PEG6-DM1, and radiotherapy using [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 was carried out in athymic BALB/c nude mice bearing trastuzumab-resistant HCC1954 and trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1)/trastuzumab-resistant JIMT-1 tumor-bearing mice.
After 7 days of incubation at 37°C, [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 was stable in both human serum (89.2% ± 0.9%) and PBS (82.8% ± 0.4%). T-PEG6-DM1 (8 mg/kg) and [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 (3 × 18 kBq) administered separately in non-tumor-bearing mice 10 days apart were well tolerated biochemically and hematologically. Imaging and biodistribution showed high tumor uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-T-PEG6-DM1 in tumor-bearing mice at 120 hours after injection: 38.1% ± 2.8% IA/g (HCC1954) and 14.6% ± 1% IA/g (JIMT-1). In HCC1954 tumor-bearing mice, all treatment groups had complete remission (8/8), indicative of the responsiveness of the xenograft to T-DM1-based treatments, whereas for JIMT-1 xenografts (having 1/8 complete remission) at 23 days after treatment, tumor volumes were 332.1 ± 77.5 vs. 244.6 ± 63 vs. 417.9 ± 62.1 vs. 102.4 ± 18.5 for the saline (negative control), T-DM1 (positive control), T-PEG6-DM1, and [225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1, respectively.
[225Ac]Ac-macropa-T-PEG6-DM1 is more potent than ADC against trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer and necessitates clinical translation.
人们对使用锕 - 225([225Ac]Ac)开发靶向α疗法有着浓厚的兴趣。抗体药物偶联物(ADC)具有高度细胞毒性。将[225Ac]Ac与ADC结合以开发抗体药物放射性偶联物[225Ac]Ac - 大分子曲妥珠单抗(T)-聚乙二醇6 - 依坦西普(DM1),预计在治疗乳腺癌方面比其ADC(T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1)更有效。
制备了[89Zr]Zr - 对异硫氰酸苄基去铁胺(DFO)-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1(用于成像)和[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1(用于放射治疗)。在无肿瘤的BALB/c小鼠中对[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1进行生物分布和安全性评估。使用[89Zr]Zr - DFO - T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1进行小动物正电子发射断层显像(MicroPET)成像和生物分布研究,并在携带曲妥珠单抗耐药的HCC1954肿瘤的无胸腺BALB/c裸鼠以及携带曲妥珠单抗 - DM1(T - DM1)/曲妥珠单抗耐药的JIMT - 1肿瘤的小鼠中使用[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1进行放射治疗。
在37°C孵育7天后,[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1在人血清(89.2% ± 0.9%)和磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)(82.8% ± 0.4%)中均稳定。在无肿瘤小鼠中,分别间隔10天给予T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1(8 mg/kg)和[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1(3×18 kBq),生化和血液学方面耐受性良好。成像和生物分布显示,注射后120小时,携带肿瘤的小鼠中[89Zr]Zr - DFO - T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1在肿瘤中的摄取量很高:HCC1954肿瘤为38.1% ± 2.8%注射剂量每克组织(IA/g),JIMT - 1肿瘤为14.6% ± 1% IA/g。在携带HCC1954肿瘤的小鼠中,所有治疗组均完全缓解(8/8),表明异种移植瘤对基于T - DM1的治疗有反应,而对于JIMT - 1异种移植瘤(治疗后23天有1/8完全缓解),生理盐水(阴性对照)、T - DM1(阳性对照)、T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1和[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1组的肿瘤体积分别为332.1 ± 77.5、244.6 ± 63、417.9 ± 62.1和102.4 ± 18.5。
[225Ac]Ac - 大分子-T - 聚乙二醇6 - DM1在治疗曲妥珠单抗耐药的乳腺癌方面比ADC更有效,有必要进行临床转化。
